Shiny (Decemberists cover)

[arandomlandon]

great voice, and nice interpretation :)

[mckendo83]

I listen to this version all the time, i checked your page from time to time disappointed you were taking a hiatus! i seemed to had missed you by about a year, but kept coming back to listen to your covers of Shiny (over and over and over) , Street Spirit, Stray Cat, and red riding hood! Glad to see you are back ! your covers are beautiful.

[thebrooke]

@mckendo83 - thanks :) I am trying to come out of hiatus... as funding allows. but I have a facebook now, and am seriously making an album this year if it kills me. come visit! ...facebook.../TheBrooke.TheBa­nd

[mckendo83]

@thebrooke forgot to mention fade into you - which is how i found you in the first place. I heard your version of shiny before i had heard colin meloys even haha so you turned me on the the decemberists.

[davidlucy0327]

cld u angle cam @ fret @ all time so i cld play with you?lol

[i3skate]

This is still my favorite interpretation of this song.

[disidente86]

:) perfect

[killerkeller914]

thanks a lot brooke. i found the website and downloaded the songs. im looking forward to your first album. you're going to be huge!

[moomers81]

You are absolutely amazing.

[tearyeyedhobo]

this is so beautiful.

[killerkeller914]

what is her website? i want to download this.

[thebrooke]

thanks. you, and everyone. :) did you find my website? all the MP3s are there. the link is in the video description.

[TymonBrown]

This is just beyond amazing

[yblad]

one word, brilliant

[Calviano360]

wow great voice

[psychomode14]

You really remind me of Emily Haines from Metric when you sing.

[Souperlative]

you've got great feeling while you sing :)

[mirjulf]

you are great.. love your voice!

[hollywoodtsc]

I downloaded your version from your website....thanks, I really love listening to your take on this song, makes me feel I'm sitting in a coffe house watching ya play...thanks again

[crimsonaneurysm]

I love this song, but his voice kind of grates on me in this one. Your voice is really perfect for this song.

[davethecrow]

lovely,thanks.

[kennjad]

wow

thank you

[justinhawaii]

can you point me to the correct tab for this song.. everything i find is wrong and crap.

i cant figure out the chord after the cm7.

[thebrooke]

If I remember... It's like a B but only two strings of it (so the last three strings are open), then Em -- and you go back and forth between for that measure or whatever it is.

hope that made sense. :)

[smokebombhill]

I, like, just wish you would sing to me forever.

[withtheirmachines]

yeah brooke..ive been waiting for my LP of covers by le brooke..wtf

[thebrooke]

if you want my covers, I posted them all on my site recently. just go to the link which is on my youtube profile/channel, and from there, go to 'music'.

[thebrooke]

I mean I posted them as MP3s. also some that aren't on youtube.

[w06flor]

amazing.

you have a very beautiful voice

[lorus87]

Really nice version, love that someone covered this song.

[smilie14]

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C :P

[Creediskcens]

...and i love YOU! Great voice!

[painterman272003]

I had never heard of decemberists before your version. I'm seeing them in Wolverhampton (England) on friday as a new fan - cant wait.

They will do well to beat your version of shiny though!!

[kylek02]

Great job.

Whats that guitar mic called and how much did it cost?

[thebrooke]

thanks peeps :)

@kyle02 - the guitar pickup? I can't remember the name of it off-hand.. you can buy mine off me if you want. I don't use it anymore. private message me if you like.

[thekingadrock46]

You should do more Decemberists covers. This is amazing

[spanwayhits]

you have a wonderful voice

[xsntt]

On a different note though, you have a good ecclectic musical output. I wonder who you think are your favorite bands. I would like to hear you cover Siouxsie and the Banshees, if you are interested. Their covers of "Wheels on Fire" and "Dear Prudence" are different enough to warrant covering in the Siouxsie Sioux version, in my humble opinion.

[thebrooke]

I've never heard the World on Fire cover. I'm not a big fan of their version of Dear Prudence, but I may cover the original one of these days. thanks for the wishes of happiness. same to you :)

[xsntt]

Dang it...You're married aye?! Well, okay. Duly noted. Sad that I doubt I will ever meet a lovely girl who can play the guitar half as well as you, but I wish you all the happiness in the world.

[speakertone]

Wow... I never thought I could love this song more, but after this, I do. I, too, would be pleased if I were Colin.

[perzo449]

if its not to foward wats ur myspace adress?

[thebrooke]

it's on my channel, but it's /thebrooke13

[gprentice303]

i think umm... yeah... i think im going to marry you. is that okay?? :) but really, wowie wowow!!! so good.

[thebrooke]

gprentice303: Somebody beat you to it kid. But thanks for askin. :)~

and thanks for the enthusiastic comment. :)

[gprentice303]

haha. i sorta figured it out after watching the rest of your videos... the ring is a dead giveaway!

hope to see more videos soon!

[kgargano]

I'm pretty sure Colin Meloy would be very, very proud...

[thebrooke]

Thanks so much guys :)

kgargano - Colin Meloy actually found this already and wrote me a really nice myspace message. It's funny, I live in his hometown, in the same neighborhood where he grew up, which I didn't even know until he told me.

[kgargano]

That's...INSANE! And awesome :)

[EvanB111]

wow that was a really good cover. really nice voice.

the only mistake i saw was on the chorus when he sings LIED.. you played a Bm but its actually a b7.

but i really liked it

[wheresmyslurpee]

Please. PLay some Elliot Smith, you might like......

[wheresmyslurpee]

okay, i have not idea who this band is, but now i love 'em.... do you have any of your own stuff? curious to hear...

[xrage611x]

i luv u !!! :)

[xaviertroendle]

It's such a beautiful song... You have such a beautiful voice. Thank You Brook.

[robertastrauss]

Where did you find those chords?

Great cover. I love the smokey bar, late at night, mellow kind of tone of your voice!

[thebrooke]

Thanks Robert and everybody :)

Robert, you can get the chords to this if you follow the link I put in the description there.

[thebrooke]

Or wait, is it Roberta? Sorry. :)~

[N3XU551X]

Yep, a lovely song by such a very talented song writer. Again, your vocals are wonderful. Beautiful.

[emojuiceboxkid]

well how do you know how old i am?

i could be a 50 year old man for ll you know

((but dont worry, im not..))

[emojuiceboxkid]

oh god youre hot...

and you can sing...

hey, how old are you anyway?

[thebrooke]

I'm significantly older than you.

thanks though!

[cron0]

hey.. what about you covering engine driver by decemberists? I would love to hear it with yr voice..

well, just an idea, you probably are busy with the album thingy and stuff.. but it would be really nice anyway.

[thebrooke]

I love that song. I'd like to do it sometime for sure. :)

[negativenone]

I'm actually a bigger fan of your cover than the actual song. Beautiful.

[thebrooke]

that's silly... but I'll take it. hehee, thanks! :)

[thebrooke]

thanks :)

[cron0]

dear god..

its useless to say how yr voice is beautiful since everyone has already done that.. and the guitar is great too.. this makes me feel really sad about my decemberists covers.

[thebrooke]

noooo... don't feel sad! thanks though. Are your covers on youtube? I go check. :)

[cron0]

they are.. but they are not even close of yours. and my creepy guitar doesnt help.

[boopsie18]

wow brooke... i really liked it. Nice job.

[HoldeMaid]

very different from the original. I Like both. You have a nice voice :)

[scotch59]

excellent..your voice is so soothing

[thebrooke]

I like you people :)

Thanks for the kindness

[hollywoodtsc]

Your are a very buetiful girl...I think Ive found my soulmate...too bad I'm married.(just kidding)Great voice and you show a great pasion for the music you sing hope to see more from you.....

[FortesquesEye]

Your voice could probably soothe even a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and that's pretty rad. Keep it up!

[astn135]

tight, could you send me the tabs?

[onloop]

This is lovely and mellow. Great cover!

[983gold]

I genuinely didn't think anyone could bring anything more to the decemberists music being as brilliant as they are. I was mistaken, this is awesome. It equals the original!

[bittermint]

cover me. i'll sing one of yours, you sing one of mine, we'll put it on youtube see if anyone notices.

[Tajpek]

Fcking nice/////////////////

[BuckCompton]

Ok first of all I love the Decemberists, second of all I love your voice. It reminds me of Cat Power but not (if that makes any sense)!

Oh and your hand crafted soul infused bamboo pendants are rather snazzy!

[thebrooke]

Thanks! I thought nobody called things snazzy anymore but me. :)

[robbi23]

make the cd and i'll buy it

[mattm08]

really, really awesome.

[slaglesbagels]

Have you ever heard of the band Stars??

you sound very familiar the the female vocals...beautiful

[LeilaniRocks]

Sweet, sweet vocal. Try Across The Universe by John Lennon. Maybe some Karen Carpenter too...

[desertgirl913]

hmm....your awesome...just so you know..lol

:)

[thebrooke]

Thanks everyone! I've tried replying individually to some of you but the tube says no, not allowed, then cackles maniacally. Lets see if this one sneaks past.

[rivatoot]

i also left you a comment that hasn't appeared. thanks tube. basically, you're so good, the bands should thank you for covering them. you've turned me onto things i may have not added to my collection..but your versions are even better to me in a lot of cases. bust some richard marx or nelson, i bet you could even make them enjoyable, and that's nearly impossible.

[thebrooke]

HA! nice suggestions. don't tempt me.

[thebrooke]

oh. my GOD!!! Youtube is so messed up these days. I keep replying to these comments, and they keep not showing up. I reply again. Again, no showy uppy. I'm sorry guys.. I'm just not in the mood to re-re-reply right now. if this goes through, then I'll try.

[zoathias]

Good God, Brooke, you voice is so amazingly beautiful! You need to start putting warnings on your videos, I'm a 29 year old man with tears in my eyes after hearing just the first 10 seconds of you singing this song. I wasn't ready for that. Get your ass into a studio and start recording this stuff for real... NOW! What's stopping you?

[dapf5]

ooh man you have been realy bizzy lately,with al your new vid's!but hey it's pretty awesome.love the mysterious touch to it

[NamelessLT]

Really really nice. I love Decemberists, though I haven't heard this song before. You performed it superbly. P.S. nice website.

[SicTransitGloria1982]

Sounds layered with a second voice in places. Did you change the delay? Whatever you did, it sounds gooooood.

Lovely song -- I'd never heard it before, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Only one thing remains now... an original Brooke tune for us to hear!

[acousvnt]

I thought I heard a second voice too, an octave down. You mean like at 1:41? I think the low guitar strings create that illusion whene'er that melody line comes up.

[wadimayuki]

thanks for letting me watch it.and it's nice!

[GottfriedGeist]

love it.

[desertgirl913]

really awesome :)

[KrisShred]

The Decemberists are great, very beautiful music! And here we have an awesome cover of yours! :) Maybe you don't like the kinda muted sound of your guitar, but I think exactly this is YOUR special and unique sound! Damn, I love your music!

Kris

[thebrooke]

thank you. :)
